Navigating Life's Currents: Carey Clayton's Reflections on Going Against the Flow
Lyrics
I seem to go against the tide
I often find myself going against the popular trend or prevailing opinion
Always have to try
I always feel the need to make an effort or attempt
To make it hard
This effort is directed towards creating challenges or difficulties
I'm Noticing the passing by
I am aware of the passage of time and the people accompanying me on this journey
Of Those along the ride
Those individuals seem to progress or succeed in their endeavors
Appear to Go far
They appear to achieve significant distances or accomplishments
Just a drop within the sea
I feel like a small part of a much larger environment
Endlessly surrounding me
This vast environment is continuously present and encompassing
Take me as the whole
Accept me as a complete entity
Balanced in symmetry
Emphasizing the importance of balance and proportion
There's no disparity
There is no inequality or difference
From One to another
Transitioning seamlessly from one state to another
And from other
And similarly, transitioning from others
Swimming upstream
Struggling or facing challenges against the current
Swimming upstream
Repeated emphasis on the difficulty of swimming upstream
I need to know the reasons why
Expressing a need to understand the reasons behind certain actions or circumstances
You're able to just comply
Questioning the ability to simply conform or adhere to the status quo
With the way things are
Reflecting on the current state of affairs
Left without the push ahead
Feeling left behind without the necessary motivation or impetus
What is there to drive instead
Wondering about the driving force or purpose that is absent
Or did I miss the point
Contemplating whether there was a misunderstanding or oversight
Just a drop within the sea
Reiterating the sense of being a small part in a vast environment
Endlessly surrounding me
The surrounding environment continues without end
Take me as the whole
Requesting acceptance as a complete and balanced entity
Balanced in symmetry
Emphasizing the importance of symmetry and equilibrium
There's no disparity
Reinforcing the absence of disparities or differences
From One to another
Continuing the theme of seamless transition from one state to another
And from other
And similarly, transitioning from others
Swimming upstream
Repeating the struggle or challenge of moving against the current
Swimming upstream
Reiterating the difficulty and persistence required in swimming upstream
